Then I can ping .131 without problems. Why doesn't it run correctly when run from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1? I also tried: eth0:1 -------------------------------------- DEVICE="eth0:1" ONBOOT="yes" ONPARENT="yes" BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.131 NETMASK=255.255.255.248 -------------------------------------- without success. Please help. Thanks, Nick
